A DIME-NOVEL VICTIM.
The Sid Death of a Fourteen-Year-old
Roy IV ho I'.i-c -inn Despondent.
When Peter . lUttermau and his family
went to church yesterday afternoon he left
bis fourteen-year-old son, Julius, lying on a
bed reading a dime novel.
Two hours later be was found dead in a
wardrobe, having committed suicide by
hanging himself with a handkerchief.
Julius was a hard-working boy and earned
$3 a week. He was allowed 35 cents a week
out of Ms wages. He was a lad that never
went out at night. He was fond if reading,
lint he took to the wrong kind of literature.
His mind ran to the sensational wild and
wooly Western fiction, r All his money was
spent for these novels, j All night after sup.
per lie would sit down and read until almo,t
midnight. The result was ho became a lit
tle flighty, and often talked of - going West
to kill ludi ilia nnd make his fortune In the ;
mines. His brother laughed at him, but (he
boy was always serious in ' bis ; Intentions.
La k of means no - doubt \ prevented . bim
from carrying out his plans. - ■;.■. - : * '--• - ' '
Julius did not go out of the house all day
yesterday. He lay ia bed all morning read- '
11 lh' \\ I I'lyillHillMMWlilii
ing a humorous novel by Tom Teaser, en
titled "Muldoon, the Cop." Muldoon was
an unfortunate copper, who wis made the
victim of a lot of bad boys' practical jokes.
Julius seemed to enjoy the experiences of
Muldoon, as lielaiigh.iii heartily while read
ing the book. About 2 o'clock Ins father
and mother went to church, leaving Ju
lius still deeply Interested in Muldoon.
liis parent returned about 4 o'clock
and found the door and all the windows
locked. They knocked but were unable to
get any answer, and they thought the boy
was sound asleep. Some one suggested to
climb in the rear window by means of a
ladder. J. 11. Wiegeman, who lives in the
rear on Oliver street, placed a 'ladder
against the window, and Albert Ribert,
who lives on the third floor, climbed in. lie
looked around, but did not see Julius. Just
then he heard a noise in the direction of the
wardrobe, which stood near the window.
He turned around and was horrified to see
the little fellow hanging lifeless in one side
of the wardrobe. lie cut him down and
then unlocked the door and informed the
l.d's parent's of his death.
The little fellow's mind had no doubt be
come weak from reading the novels, and
yesterday when his folks were away, he de
cided to end his career. He removed the
clnthes re m a hook in the wardrobe, and,
tying a handkerchief around his neck, lie
tied it to the book. As there was no room
for a fall, he got down on his knees among
the clothes, and slowly strangled to death.
He had no doubt just died when he was
found as the body was still warm.—Cincin

THE MORNING CALL; SAN FRANCISCO. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1890-KIGHT PAGES.
PROVOKED A WRANGLE.
A Spirited Debate in the Re-
form Convention.
Several Karnes Added to the Ticket-Buck
ley's First Capture— Date for Eepub
liean Primaries.
The time of the Democratic Reform Con
vention was given over in large part last
night to wrangling over a motion Introduced
by K. M. Smith pledging the nominees of
the convention to refuse to accept the In
dorsement of any convention called by the
Buckley-Rainey Committee. It was the
rock upon which the convention came near
to splitting.
It was 8:30 o'clock when E. P. Cole. In the
absence of Barclay Henley, called the con
vention to order, and proceeding at once to
business announced that the first business
in order was the nomination of a Superior
Judge for the short term.
K. M. Smith immediately sprung to his
feet, and demanded that his resolution
which had been referred to the Committee
on Platform on Monday evoning, be re
ported back, as ordered by the convention.
He felt that the time had come when it
should be understood that the movements
had been organized to down "boss'tsin." and
that no nominee should stultify himself
by accepting a nomination from that man
Buckley.
Tho Chair immediately ruled him out of
order, and called for the nomination! for
Superior Judge.
GtiOiiGE A. rnocTOR CHOSEN.
J. 11. Risenwald responded by placing
before the convention lhe name of Gorge
A. Proctor, who was nominated by acclama
tion, ami with demonstrations of applause
from the various parts of the hall. ; » > -
Mr. Smith, again rising to a question of
privilege, asked that the report of the Com
mittee on Platform be called for without
further deluy, whereupon C. J. Swift from
that committee reported the following
planks which bad been agreed upon.
ADDITIONAL PLANKS.

Lids for all priming for street work In the city
and moms where printing Is necessary,
aud .ii-" for lie Shenll's ofllce, and award lo the
lowest bidder lv each case and not In the aggre
gate.
LAID ON' THE TABLE.
The plank on education provoked a some
what extended discussion, which was joined
in by Dr. Cleveland, William Manzcr and
Fetcr Robert**, who felt that the first con
sideration was to down "bossisui," and that
being done, the matter of education could
be looked after by the Democratic party.
These declarations were received with great
enthusiasm, ami as a result tho plauk on
education was tabled by au almost unani
mous vote.
This having been disposed of, Mr. Smith
again claimed the attention of the conven
tion, and moved a suspension of the rule
adopted on Monday evening to refer all
resolutions to the proper committee. At the
same time he introduced a resolution pledg
ing all nominees to refuse an indorsement
by any other convention, and providing
that they bo Immediately scratched from
the ticket in the event of their doing so.
In support of this resolution lie spoke
with great feeling and strove to point out
that Buckley could very easily indorse tlie
entire ticket if he so chose, and would then
claim tlie victory and retain the organization
of the party.
John 11. Grady, who, with tha aid of the
Chair, endeavored to choke Mr. Smith off,
made the point of order that the same reso
lution had been introduced at a previous
meeting, and, having been referred to the
Committee on Platform, could be brought
before tho convention only by a motion re
quiring that committee to report.
Tlie Chair deemed the point of order well
taken and so ruled.
Joseph Nouges was of the opinion that
the ruling was in error, and while he did
not propose to appeal from the Chair he felt
that it was not the proper way to dispose of
the matter and that Mr. Smith had a right
to be heard. pp.- - .-. ;'■'■■■
The Chairman saw away out of the diffi
culty, and asked if the committee was ready
to make its report.
REPORTED ADVERSELY.
C. J. Swift, in response to the inquiry,
beamed in the direction of Mr. Smith, and
in his most honeyed tones, and alter care
fully adjusting Ins gold-rimmed glasses,
slated that the committee had, after careful
deliberation, decided to report adversely.
It was not the desire of the committee, he
added, to stultify any candidate by arbi
trarily saying that he should not a.-cept the
indorsement of any man or set of men.
Joseph Nought's found fault with Mr.
Smith's motion as being calculated to place
the reform movement in the light of aside
show when those comprising it chimed to
represent the true Simon-pure Democ
racy—the Democracy in fact of Jefferson
and Jackson. Buckley was running the
side-show, while they were conducting the
circus with three lings and containing all
the attractions, from the fat woman to the
big snake.
Mr. Smith then withdrew his motion, and
moved instead that the report of the com
mittee be not accepted.
MR. TAYLOR TALKS.
This brought Stuart M. Taylor to his feet
to suggest that it had been his belief when
he joined the anti-Buckley movement that
the intention was to nominate the best men
that could be found within the limits of the
great city of San Francisco. if such men
were chosen, lie, for one, would withdraw
from the convention if it was to be said that
they weie not to be allowed io accept the in
dorsement of any other ' convention, even
though it should be composed of Republicans.
Continuing, he made a vigorous but not
entirely dignified attack upon the Alta and
its representative lor the manner in which
lliey had chosen to refer to him. lie
wauted to see such Democratic papers as
the Alta and Report driven from the city,
and warned them that vigilance coiumit'ojs
could be as easily termed now as hi days
gone by. That it would end in that ho felt
sure, and amid cheers sank into his chair.
Mr. Smith was asked to withdraw his
motion, but refusing to do so it was laid on
the table.
MORE NOMINATIONS.
Mr. Swift then moved that the offices of
Public Administrator, City . and County
Surveyor and Coroner be passed, and the
nomination oft Treasurer be proceeded
with. I|'^"'WI<IJH>HI-"^W|f''tlWWw*
This being agreed to he named for that
office Otto Klaufenburg, who was seconded
by Stewart Menzies and Joseph Nougues.
p Mr. Klaufenberg was then nominated by
acclamation, as was also P. J. White for
Sheriff, whose name was presented by
James Flaherty.
A deb-gate in the rear of the room placed
William Desmond in nomination for Tax-
Collector, and with a rush hej was declared
the nominee of the convention*
: Nominations for School Directors were
then asked for, it being understood that the
vote was to be deferred until this evening.:
The following : gentlemen wore named :
Charles McFaddeu. Thomas Lawler, K. W.
McKiustry. Max Magnus," E. A. Brandt, E. ;
P. Farnsworth, J. H. Rostnvvald, John

STILL ON 188 TRAIL.
Conffrcitman Morrow. Rucceaaor Not - -t
../.Decided Upon.
The Republicans of the Fourth Congres
sional District are still discussing various
names for the purpose of selecting a succes
sor to Mr. Morrow. Tho latest is that of
Charles L. Tilden, the well-known attorney,
but no decision has yet been reached.
It is understood, however, that Cenernl
John T. Cutting has not yet abandoned
hope and will endeavor to brave the oppo
sition of the National Guard, which grows
stronger every day. The" Guardsmen are
evidently out for blood and openly threaten
to knife him iv the event of bis nomination.
The indications are. therefore, that the
General will -find it convenient to remain iv
private life for two years nt least
The name of Colonel M. 11. llecht is again
being canvassed aud it is understood that a
letter has been received from him in which
he intimates that he might be induced to
make the race.
Afrilit of McDonald.
The "lambs" have gone off on another
tack and are now threatening to vote for
O'Donnell for Mayor in order to spite the
Reform Democrats for nominating McDon
ald. At first it was thought possible that
the "boss" nrglit conclude to Indorse the
latter when his convention assembled, but
the tone of his followers Is such that it is
out of the question for him to do so, and the
consequence is that they have abandoned
hope of electing a Mayor. Their only hope
seems to lie in trying to elect O'Donnell.
How far this movement will extend it is hard
to say, but that it is beiug quietly considered
there can be no doubt.

Another View of It, .
A well - known ward - striker was. pro
fessedly pleased yesterday over the action
of the Reform Convention in placing a ticket
in the field.
"It is the best thing that could have oc
curred lor the regular Democrats," he said.
"There is not a man in that convention but
would have voted the Republican ticket and
the result will be to draw just that many
votes away from the latter party."

THE MIMIC WORLD.
ll id- Week Notes of Business at
the Different Theaters.
"The Crystal Slipper," at the Grand Opera
House, the Principal Center of At
traction-General Mention.
Tbe Grand Opera House Is just now the
center of attraction. The management must
be reaping a harvest with "The Crystal
Slipper." Seats are at a premium, and
those who wish to enjoy this spectacle, ex
ceptional in its beauty, must bo prompt in
their application at tbe box-office. It might
be to some purpose, perhaps, if one wished
to exhaust space, to speak in detail of this
glittering show; but it would be bet
ter : for those who wish to •- know
what the modem stage is capable of— such a
stage, for example, as the Grand Opera
House, the best in the United Slates -when
wealth and intelligence combine in a pro
duction— sec the results for themselves.
Last evening, the third from the opening,
there was standing room only, and we have
no doubt this will be the condition of the
auditorium till the close of the engagement.
Somebody locally says in regard to this
magnificent affair: "Chicago lias done well"
(where it ran for several weeks). Chicago,
bah. San Francisco has a way of judg
ing for itself. It is giving its judgment,
now, at the Grand Opera House, and would
have just as effusively indorsed "The Crystal
Slipper" if the ciiy by the lake had never
enjoyed its beauties. We do not take our
tone from Chicago.
A Secoud Sitting > v*~'
Of "The United States Mail" nt the Bush
street Theater confirms the opinion that
those who are managing it have a good thing
in hand; but there is need of redressing
many of its essential features— attractive
now, but which may be made far more so by
judicious revision. We are inclined to think
the gentlemen who have the piece in charge
have brought it out in a sort of tentative
way— they aro "the young men a I raid ot
their horses." There is abundant material
in the piece, rightly placed, to make it one
ot the best farce-comedies of the period.
The part ol Hi Hand (Frank David), the
tramp printer who runs the country print
ing-room and helps in the Postoffice when
the editor of The Clarion Is made Postmas
ter, ought to be more developed, and the com
posing-room should be on the stage in a
principal set : Instead of in an upper
story. To the general rural public a country
printing-office is a recondite affair, just as
much so as is the inside of a metropolitan
newspaper establishment to i townspeople.
There is a chance to make Hi Hand and his
tyi ographlcal surroundings, as the tramp
printer, a leaturo more than it Is in "The
United States Mail." This piece will ba
contiuued at the Bush for another week and
when it takes the road • some essential
changes will be made in the cast. ;
"A Man From Blnlne"

defects is not denied; but these are In a

the company. Forrest Seabury's scenery is

Facts About Keene.
Commencing Monday, September 20th,
Mr. Thomas Wallace Kiene will give a two
weeks' season of tragedy at the New Cali
fornia. Many years service in portraying
the leading characters of the Shakespearian
drama certainly entitles him to considera
tion, and the wide recognition received from
discerning and trustworthy critics justilies
his claim for a place in the list of tragedians
of the present day of whom the wor d speaks.
It is now eleven years since Mr. Keene
essayed "Itichaid 111" — one of the most ex
igeant of all Shakespeare's heroes of force
and the calmly considered and canuid opin
ion of his best friends, who were present on
this occasion, induced him to retain the
part in his repertory, lie was not, of
course, all that might be desired, at first, in
a personation that has occupied the thoughts,
night and day, of the grand old masters of
the dramatic art, whose "distant footsteps
echo down the corridors of lime"; but by
hard work, as they practiced, and patient
study, he has brought the crook-back tyrant
very close to Shakespeare's idea, with some
original touches in reading and action,
placed for a time in abeyance, that could
hardly fail to be suggested to hlin in the
course of his close investigation, and which
he will revive. ;.
Schmidt va. Bniwnrlh.
There is a very interesting controversy
going on just now between Mr. Louis
Schmidt, senior, and Mr. 11. M.
Bosworth. correspondent in this city
of the American Musician in New York.
Speaking of the Augusta Lowell compli
mentary concert, given in the First Unita
tarian Church, Mr. lloswotth reflected, in
his correspondence, on Mr. Schmidt's ability
as an organist, and the gentleman attacked
writes to the paper that published the slur
as follows:

stroke of a practiced swimmer was propell
ing himself ra idly toward the sinking
mini. The great steamer, meanwhile,
rounded to and a boat was sent out manned
by bravo volunteers eager to save life nt the
risk of their own. Urged on by willing
hands ii sped swiftly toward the spot, now
far astern, where tho daring ath'eto was
struggling to keep lho head of the drowning
man above water. .
Fifteen minutes later, amid the cheers of
the exulting passengers and crew, the two
men, exhausted, half senseless, but saved,
were lifted over the side, laid out on the
deck, carefully wrapped in blankets and the
great ship bore away once more on her
coarse.
The daring rescuer was the first to revive,
lie raised himself oa nis elbow, looked curi
ously at tlie shivering, gasping object at his
side, and while tears of joy bedewed the
cheeks of the sympathizing fellow-travelers
grouped about he lell back with a look of
ineffable
" 1 have ruined a good suit of clothes." he
said mournfully, "to save the life of a Lon
don duae."— Chicago Tribune.
